I'm researching forum software at the moment, so I know "nothing" about MyBB.
Is it possible to create a completely different view of the messages in a forum?
e.g. If I wanted to show a hierarchical list of the most recent N threads, and for each message in each thread list the message title, date and poster's name - Something like this:
-----------
<Thread 1 title> <Poster> <date>
....<Title of 2nd message in thread> <Poster> <date>
....<Title of 3nd message in thread> <Poster> <date>
<Thread 2 title> <Poster> <date>
....<Title of 2nd message in thread> <Poster> <date>
<Thread 3 title> <Poster> <date>
-----------
The details of how to extract and display those exact fields is not so important at the moment, but what would be the best way of creating such views?
I would like to create a few of these new views (that exist in the forum software I am currently using) and present them as options to the users, as well as displaying the more normal standard message view.
Thanks,
Woll
